Hi all,
had a bit of luck at the local flee market yesterday. Found this skewed moving filister which will get a face lift and hopefully work nicely.
The blade is skewed, so that it will hit the edge of the board first. There are also skewed planes, where the foremost part of the blade is in the corner of the rabbet, "pulling" the plane into the cut. What is the theory behind choosing one over the other?
For example, the Philly Planes moving filister is skewed into the rabbet (please correct me if I'm wrong on this, judging from the wedge on the homepage I'm drawing this conclusion), while the Philly Planes dovetail plane has a "reverse skew", like in the picture below. Both are in essence moving filisters, but seems to be skewed in different directions. Why could this be?
Is it just a question of if the shavings come out right or left?
I'd like to build me a plane for cutting male sliding dovetails, and this is part of the reason for asking.
Looking forward to hear your views on this.
Best regards,
Oskar
